Full description
Our hop-on hop-off bus really is the best way to see London. With three routes covering most of the city’s highlights, you can choose where to hop on and off and make sure that you get to see exactly what you want to see. London was built to be seen from the top deck of a red double decker! Our routes are designed to make sure you won’t miss a thing!
Feel the wind in your hair on the top deck of our open-topped bus as we drive through beautiful, expansive Hyde Parkor as you drive along the city’s famous Embankmenton the bank of the mighty Thames.
Experience the magic of crossing the river on four of the city’s famous bridges, including the emblematic Tower Bridge. There’s no better way to get a sense of London than from the bridges that span the river that is the reason the city exists.
From the sacred sights of St Paul’s and Westminster Abbeyto the more worldly pleasures of Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square, you’ll experience every side of London. And If you need to know the time, just check Big Ben!
From the top deck of our bus, you’ll see all of London’s history. Both past and the history that’s being made today. In a city whose story is told on its streets, there’s no better way to travel.
We know we’ve got you covered when you hop on, but now we’ve got something extra for you in London when you hop-off.
Only if you have chosen the option, you can enjoy a boat trip along the Thames. You will be given your cruise ticket when you redeem your voucher on the bus.
